An elderly gentleman who had slipped on rocks and injured himself is airlifted by the air sea rescue helicopter from Northam Burrows this afternoon.
I was very heartened to see him waving as he was winched up.

Here is my picture on a local news website: http://www.thisisnorthdevon.co.uk/news/Man-82-rescued-falling-rocks/article-1833121-detail/article.html
